LBB:2 Ziru Sirka

This has likely been done before but I just wondered what I could get away with ship building wise if LBB:2 (81) was constrained by the HG jump drive TL paradigm on top of the letter drives.

The Ziru Sirka began exploring space and setting up colonies long before they invented jump drive, and it took them a long time to achieve jump 2. It has also been mentioned that the early era jump drives were inefficient,

Era	Drive TL	Computer model	drives available	jump fuel	jump ship sizes	notes
Early jump era	TL9	1->3	A->D	12% per Jn	200->800	100t spacecraft
Jump 1 era	TL10	1->4	E->H	11% per Jn	200->1000
Jump 2 era	TL11	1->5	J->K	10% per Jn	100->2000

Interesting concept. I wonder as well.

I should have mentioned that I used T5 as inspiration for the increased fuel requirements.
